About Holly Cottage, Milton Abbas

Holly Cottage is a picture book white thatched semi-detached cottage situated in the beautiful village of Milton Abbas, comprising identical cottages nestling in a wooded valley that slopes gently down to a fishing lake.  The village, designed by Capability Brown, was relocated from its original site at nearby Milton Abbey.    Each cottage has a broad sloping lawn at the front, which creates the feeling of an extensive village green and is a lovely place to sit with a glass of wine and to watch the world go by.  Sleeps four.

Milton Abbas is a unique and peaceful village nestling in a wooded valley that slopes gently down to a private fishing lake.  The village, designed by Capability Brown, was relocated from its original site at nearby Milton Abbey which is a short and pleasant sroll away.  The village houses are mostly identical, built with thick cob walls and thatched roofs and were, astonishingly enough, originally intended to accommodate 16 people.    
The Hambro Arms, a stones throw from Holly Cottage, offers a log fire in the winter and good food all year round.  There is also a Post Office General Store opposite the cottage which supplies basic groceries and some old world charm. 

Holly cottage sleeps four comfortably and has two bedrooms with a twin room leading directly off the double. 

There are many beautiful walks nearby, both in the village and farther afield. One not to miss is a wander around the grounds and interior of Milton Abbey and to take in the view of the grass steps that leads to an 11th Century chapel higher up in the woods.  Bulbarrow woods, a short car journey away has the spectacular bluebell displays in the spring.  The local area has much to offer and discover.  The coast at Lulworth Cove is a mere 25 minutes drive and the beaches at Studland are around 30 minutes away.

We have many repeat guests who return each year to relax in this beautiful part of the Dorset countryside.
